Chris Brown under investigation after allegedly punching woman in the face

Chris Brown is reportedly under investigation for battery after punching a woman in the face in Las Vegas.

According to TMZ, the woman was invited to a private party hosting at Brown’s suite at the Palms Hotel. After she took a photo of Brown with her cell phone, the singer is reported to have punched her in the right eye.

As well as battery, Brown is also under investigation for misdemeanour theft (for the phone.) A rep for Brown has told TMZ that the woman’s claims are “undeniably untrue.” A photo of the alleged injury can be seen below.

In December 2014, Brown was banned from performing in Australia based on his history of domestic violence.
